To change a return If you haven't mailed or efiled yet, see
If you haven't efiled or mailed your return or it rejected you can go back in to finish and change anything you want. Do not click on Amend!
Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.
From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.
Select 2021, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).
Then when you are ready to file you can try to switch to efile.
Review shows an error because I indicated 1099-R withdrawals were for a disaster. But I checked that it was NOT. I also checked what part was an RMD, but on review it looks like I did not answer the question. Print out hard copy also includes Disater forms. Should I just file in hard copy. That is not what I paidfor.
I returned and made edits several times. Nothing changes in the 1099-R section. The rest is okay. But ity shows 1099-R was for a disaster, which it was not.
If you didn't take a disaster distribution in 2022 or in previous years then you can remove the Form 8915-F by deleting "Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement Distribution and Repayment Worksheet":
If your return states "Ready to mail" then please see How do I change from mail to e-file in TurboTax Online? to open it back up.
WOW! I would have never figured that out on my own. I made an input error and should have been able to do a simple edit. By starting a new return, and substituting the new return for the previous return, and being careful to not make the same input error again (answered Yes instead of NO) I got the job done. But I will make a note to myself that if, in the future, I am stuck with a form that does not apply, that I can delete it. Thanks. ps: The dollar figure for my refund never changed. I just could not get rid of the darn error message. Thanks - Jim
FYI - If you edit or review a 1099R it does not keep your answers from before but resets them to the defaults. Then you have to go through and answer them all again. So be sure to go all the way to the end of the 1099R section. They are right unless you go back.
